La Nava de Enmedio is one of three lagoons of volcanic origin that form part of the lagoon complex known as Las Navas de Malagón, located in the municipality of Malagón, in Ciudad Real. This protected natural area also includes Nava Grande and Nava Chica. These lagoons are seasonal and their salinity varies, which contributes to their high biological diversity.

The Malvecinos bridge is located in the northwestern quadrant of the municipality of Carrión de Calatrava, at km 6,500 of the CR-211 provincial highway that goes from Carrión to Fernán Caballero. Since the Middle Ages, its dam-bridge was one of the most notable historical passages of the Guadiana River in this area, forming part of the route of the Cañada Real de la Plata. Unfortunately, its current state is critical due to the uncontrolled growth of vegetation, which has made urgent intervention necessary for its conservation and to avoid its ruin. The Tablas de Calatrava Naturalist Association has promoted a rehabilitation project in four phases to preserve this historical heritage. We hope that this unique enclave in Alto Guadiana can be protected and restored! 🌉🌿
